Product Description
"Here is Paris presented as a series of memories by a parent who understands that 'the special things' to share with a child are not always the attractions featured in the guidebooks....The photographs...are gorgeous....The understated narrative complements but never distracts from the visual feast....An eyeful of delight."--Horn Book.

 A Good Book if You Are Going To Paris Without Your Kids July 7, 2005
Pam Tee
Tana Hoban was on my entering Kindergartener's Summer Reading List and we have read a number of her books and not really enjoyed any of them.
My children (5 and 3; girl and boy respectively) just are not that interested in photographs of rainbows over apartments, or water that should have sparkles but doesn't.
"She remembered the river Seine
and how, going from one side of Paris
to the other, you could always
see it sparkling in the sun."
Problem is the shot looks like it was in the evening... and no sparkles. Oh well.
To be fair, the text by Ms. Zolotow is quite nice and the ending is sweet:
"What was the best?" the little girl asked.
"Oh," said her mother, "the mood was the best
because it was the same moon shining on you,
so I knew we weren't far apart at all."
Two Stars. My two children did not care for this book. It might be a good book though if you are going to Paris without you kids and want to show them what they are missing.

A sweet book. We enjoyed the pictures (photos of street scenes in Paris) and the text was nice although not exciting. Not as fun as some of Charlotte Zolotow's others, but a good book to read to our daughter before we go to Paris!

I love this book and I love reading it to my daughter, and not just because I love Paris. It's refreshingly unique in the world of books for children--books with relatively few words, that is. The photographs are wonderful and match the text perfectly. The author has taken such a fresh approach to viewing that beautiful city, and she has chosen her words with care. The book's title is so meaningful once you read the book. This is a book I wish I had written for my daughter.
